How to Start & Misc Dallies

This event only runs from June 30 to July 7 but will be returning in the future. Stock up on reputation items if you can so you can use them later on after the weekly reset.

1) Starter Quest

Players level 20 and above can participate in this event as the mobs in the tunnel scale to your level. If you attempt The Eyeless operation boss, you will be bolstered (on storymode)

You will find new terminals on the fleet. Interacting with it will give you a small cutscene and a quest. You will also receive the codex entry for THORN. You will complete this quest once you arrive inside the Rakghoul tunnels in Tatooine which will reward you with 10410 credits, 1 Elite Commendation and THORN Booster Pin (green rep item).

The Empire quest is called Combating the Plague.

The Republic quest is called To Fight Infection

You will need to head out to Tatooine and talk to Doctor Ressel (Empire) outside Mos Ila or Tralie Masoon (Republic) outside Anchorhead.

Once you have talked to them, you will need to travel to the location of The Spike, a giant drill located in north side of the Dune Sea to access the Rakghoul tunnels. Walking near The Spike will give you the codex entry for it.

There is a speeder that will take you right to the Spike that is near the camp where Doctor Ressel or Tralie Masoon resides.

Interact with The Spike to travel inside the Rakghoul tunnels.

2)Mos Ila/Anchorhead Daily

Behind Doctor Ressel/Tralie Masoon is a datapad with a daily that is completed around the Mos Ila/Anchorhead area of Tatooine instead of the Rakghoul tunnels. You will need to find Infected NPCs around the area marked by the daily and then get very close them to use your mission item. If you missed this datapad, you can also get it inside the Rakghoul Tunnels.

3) Spreading Infection Daily

You get this daily automatically when you reach stage2/stage 3 of the Rakghoul Plague and blow up, infecting other players. The daily asks you to infect 3 other players give you 1 Rakghoul DNA Canister and 1 green rep item.

The Rakghoul Plague has 3 stages

Stage 1 – lasts 10 minutes, you do not blow up when you die.

Stage 2 – lasts 10 minutes, you explode when you die, infecting others. What you can do is buy the VIP Lounge Wristband from the droid Cantina vendor in the middle of the fleet for 1 million and the use the elevator to get up top. When you reach stage 2, you can leap from up there down to the gathering crowd below and infect anyone not infected/vaccinated.

Stage 3 – you automatically blow up.

Rakghoul Tunnels and the Dallies

Dallies Count

Dallies Terminal

You will find a bunch of dallies on the mission terminal as well as the datapad nearby. You will also get the codex entry Rakghoul Propagation when you enter the tunnels. Make sure you grab some Rakghoul Vaccines off the Medical Droid near the entrance to the tunnels as each can protect you from ~6 hrs of Rakghoul plague, which is very annoying to have.

Rakghoul Tunnels

Rakghoul tunnel is divided into 3 sections: Contagion Zone, Infested Pathways, The Epicenter. They are all interconnected with each other. Epicenter is where you will find the Jawa vendor Jeelvic and is also the location for the [Heroic 4]

This is a timed daily and you have 5 minutes to complete it once you have injected your first Fungal Flora.

Locate one of the egg shaped Fungal Flora in the marked area in Contagion Zone and click it. You will need to find two other Fungal Floras within 5 minutes and then escort all the raklings back to the mission terminal.

This quest has you travel all over the Rakghoul tunnel. When you arrive at the marked location on the map, use your Navigation Beacon Scanner provided on the tracked quest menu to look for the navigation beacons.

You have to do two things for this daily a) Scan 5 skull like items by interacting with it and b) Kill 25 Rakghouls inside the Infested pathways. When you attack Rakghouls, their friends tend to spawn and join the fight so 25 Rakghouls isn’t a lot.

Clicking on the interactable puddles on the ground will spawn champions called Rakghoul Blight which will drop the Fungal samples you need for the quest.

Jeelvic the Jawa Vendor

Everyone’s favourite Jawa vendor Jeelvic is back! He can be found in The Epicenter area of the Rakghoul tunnels but before you bolt your way to there, grab a repeatable quest (weekly) off the Contagion Zone as that will not only lead you to Jeelvic but also give you 1 Rakghoul DNA Canister.

What does Jeelvic sell? Lots of stuff

Black-Green crystals (tradeable)

Pets

Infected Mounts

Exchange old Rakghoul DNA samples from last event back in 2012 for Rakghoul DNA Canister at a ratio of 50:1 (50 samples for 1 canister)

Where does Barnacle of the Eyeless, Symbiotic Fungal Bloom, and Exotic Plague Specimen drop?

Barnacle of the Eyeless drops from The Eyeless. Only enough drops for 1/2 of the raid in hardmode and 1/4 of the raid in storymode so you will need to roll for it. It is tradeable

Symbiotic Fungal Bloom drops from the Fungus elites and The Catalyst, see the section on Rare Spawns of this guide to know where to find them. It is tradeable.

Exotic Plague Specimen drops from the world boss in Alderaan.. It is BoP.

Decorations from Jeelvic

New to this round of the Rakgoul event are the decorations that are added to Jeelvic. Make sure to stock up on these as Jeelvic won’t be available once the event ends.

The Eyeless

The Eyeless is an operation boss for 8 or 16 players available in two difficulty modes with a weekly lockout. There is no reputation requirement to enter his lair, which is located on the bottom right corner of Infested Pathways section of the tunnels.

However, if you want to get the [OPS] Heart of Infection quest, which rewards you with 2 Rakghoul DNA Canisters, 1 Engraved Rakghoul Claw (blue rep item), 4 Elite Comms and 20k credits, you will need Outsider rank and purchase a THORN Priority Authorization from the reputation vendors for 1k. This will allow you to interact with the terminal back at the Rakghoul Tunnels starter area to receive the quest.

Mechanics

Mechanics for this boss is very simple and is identical in storymode/hardmode. Only one tank is needed as there is no tank swap mechanics.

Infected Phlegm: Throws down a green circle on the ground that needs to be avoided. Whoever get caught in it get a stacking debuff which doesn’t seem to do any damage but might kill you if you get too many stacks.(5 stacks on hardmode and 10 stacks on storymode will kill you and anyone around you).

Crush: Huge purple circle place right under The Eyeless. Tank and all melee need to move out of it or risk taking a massive amount of damage and knockback.

Pound: Proximity AoE attack, deals damage mostly to melee and tank.

Adds: Rakghoul Dewelers – around 12k HP on storymode 8m and 20k HP on hardmode 8m. They are not hard to deal with and can be killed rather quickly by the DPS. They seem to come with every Crush attack.

World Bosses

Note: For world bosses, only the world boss in the planet the rakghoul event is active will spawn. The world bosses on the other two planets will not spawn (i.e. if the rakghoul event is happening Alderaan, only Shellshock is around, but not the other two).

Toxxun

World boss in Corellia, located in the SE corner of Axial Park. He drops a new pet Plaguehorn Sleen in addition to Exotic Plague Specimen. Make sure you have a couple of vaccines from the medical droid inside the Rakghoul tunnels or have someone with Revan holostatue.

Make sure to tank him against a post as he has a nasty aoe knockback and can reset.

20 minutes respawn

Plaguehorn

World boss in Tatooine. Located in Jundlands around coordinates 1200, -1350. He drops a new pet Plaguehorn Reek in addition to Exotic Plague Specimen. Make sure you have a couple of vaccines from the medical droid inside the Rakghoul tunnels or have someone with Raven holostatue.

Respawn timer is around 20 minutes

Shellshock

World boss outside the Rakghoul Tunnels in King’s Pass in Alderaan. Also drops the components you needed to purchase mounts and pets from Jeelvic.

Drops Exotic Plague Specimen, which is not tradeable

Drops Plagueshard Lylek, which is BoL.

Tank and spank fight but you will need to buy vaccines from the medical droid just inside the Rakghoul tunnels to avoid the stuns.

Rare Spawns

Frenzied Plaguebearer

You get attacked by plaguebears when you exit the spaceport in Alderaan and also when you head towards the Rakghoul event NPC near House Thul/House Organa. Sometimes instead of regular plaguebearer, this elite Frenized Plaguebearer will spawn instead and has a chance to drop Pale Rakling, one of the pets (BoE)

The Tunnel Lurker

The Tunnel Lurker is a champion mob with 351k HP that roam the left half of the Infested Pathways mostly. He is after by achievement hunters as he is required for a bunch of achievements that require defeating him with various pets (see achievement section).

Has a rare chance to drop Crimson Rakling, which is BoP.

Fungus Elites/The Catalyst

The Catalyst is a rare spawn that can replace any of the 5 Fungus Elites you need for the Hey! I’m a Fungi achievement. Like the Fungus Elites, it has a chance to drop the parts you need to purchase the mounts and pets from Jeelvic.

Drops Symbiotic Fungal Bloom, The Catalyst has a higher chance to drop them. These are tradeable

Also have a rare chance to drop Fungal Rakling, which is BoL.

The Midnight Rakghoul – Secret Boss in Kaon under Siege

This is a secret boss added recently with the Rakghoul event. He has a 100% chance to drop the Midnight Rakling pet (BoP).

He has a similar plague effect to Shellshock the world boss in Alderaan so you will need vaccines or have relic from the reputation vendors. Also have an interruptable rock throw.

Absolutely fantsatic as always dulfy. Also The Jawa Vendor is back in the epicentre and is selling the Black-Green Crystals as well as new Infected Dewback and Varactyl and also the option to trade 50 DNA for 1 Cannister.

Donts

where is Epicentre? =)

Beasthunt

In the article above it says it is in one of the 3 sections of the Rhaghoul Tunnel.

Donts

next time. I must wait while your uploading new information. =P

TJWoo

Thanks for the guide Dulfy! Ran into you in the tunnels but I was on the Republic side. There was a daily I picked up from a datapad in the tent outside House Organa. It was to inoculate 5 people but I couldn’t figure out where/who it was talking about inoculating. Oh well. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Anthony Phillip Cuchra

WOOT Dead On Arrival on BC was able to kill Eyeless on 16man story and hard right as the servers went down! Will be posting a screen for our hard completion when the SWTOR sit comes up. Holy adds, Batman! is all I can say about that fight!

same as xeno so story was ark gear and i’m pretty sure hard was underworld. couldnt really tell as everyone had to rapid click need so the server didnt steal the loot lol had like 30 secs to spare before it went down

Ancaglon

Is this area instanced as with Xenoanalyst, or just “open world” as with the Wampa and the Klor slug on Ilum? the “16HM” part implies instanced but there’s an area on the middle map marked “Lair of the Eyeless” with no indication of a zone transition.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Instanced

Disqus this

Is there a reputation level needed for “Lair of the Eyeless”? Kinda like how Xeno needed a reputation to get to him? (or did I miss that bit of info in the reading?)

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope, no rep needed to enter but if you want the ops quest you need outsider rank.

Sherlock

hmm.. 4 ult comms for 16hm, strange

Rumena

Btw Dulfy it’s not The Sting it is The Spike*

Xami_the_Unicorn

Nice work as always Dulfy. Is there any word on how long the event is going to last?

darkfather

How the heck do you get the pets?

Thruddle

Just a heads up, but in the “Plagued companion customisations” section, Vette is an SW comp, as opposed to a BH comp, and Skadge is a BH comp, rather than agent. Minor squiggles aside, a nice guide as always

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Thanks, corrected

Rumena

Where to acquire the DNA Cannisters?Dailies or something else?

Geedai

Also, Kira Carsen is a Knight comp and Tharan Cedrax is Consular’s.

Nice guide!

Saaz

So if 50 DNA samples equal a DNA Cannister….and you need 50 Cannisters for the mount. Does that mean you need 2.5k DNA Samples?! Thereby infecting 2500 people?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

You also get DNA canisters by doing the quests and killing The Eyeless.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Are the DNA canisters BOP or BOL

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

BOP unfortunately

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Guess there’s no way to get everything on one character within the time frame for this round of the plague.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Strike that – the mounts and pets are BOL so can be mailed within your legacy…

Saaz

AH they’re the old comm – I see you can get 3 from the dailies each day

Someone

Which Mount?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Infected Dewback and Infected Varactyl, see the Jeelvic vendor section

Someone

Oh infected? So those are 50 cannisters? I would love to get those! Thx so much!

Deadlyzebra

Do we get 1 sample for infecting 1 person?

Ancaglon

The Cannisters, not the Samples, are the primary currency this time (the Samples are accepted just to help out those people that have been saving them for 2 years!), and you can get up to 4 Cannisters per day, plus 12 more for doing the Ops boss in both modes, plus a couple more one-off ones. It’s just about possible to have got 50 Cannisters in the week IF you happened to get the Ops boss done before the 1200 GMT reset on the Tuesday the event started.

(Personally, I find that time difference between the event start/end times and the weekly resets rather annoying — it gives an unfair advantage to those that can play at that time on a Tueday).

Chakra Kusanagi

Still no sign of the old event outfits?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope, just black green crystals returning

Chakra Kusanagi

Crap

Oh well… sucks… I don’t like these new outfits one bit so I won’t be doing the event.
More time for my alts tho so I’m fine with that

(actually, might just do it enough to get the lowest tier outfit just so I can get the boots and maby the mask)

Pjats

Is this event only for level 55 or also for lower level like the last Rakghoul event?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Low levels get bolstered up I think, someone confirm if you can

Exorius

The are lvl 25 mobs in the tunnels. Attacking them summons 2 (1 normal and 2 strong) or 3 (3 normals) mobs of your actual lvl. Like Shady Characters from BBA event or like Rakghoul mobs from the past event. So i guess it is lvl 25+ event. Not sure about heroic 4 though..

Ancaglon

Thanks, that makes sense, that means Bolster is not required BUT low-level flagged players are dead meat.

PS: I don’t see a Bolster buff on the screenshots above either.

Ancaglon

As expected, if, as a low level player, you accidentally get flagged (by healing or ressing a Flagged player, or by auto-attacking a flagged enemy, you will probably be killed by a passing level 55 within a couple of minutes. If that happens, release to the Medcenter, and wait 5 minutes — it’s not worth the hassle trying to deal with morons like that.

Chess

Where do you get Barnacle of the Eyeless and those other things; Symbiotic Fungal Bloom and Exotic Plague Specimen?

DulfyFan

I’m also wondering that

Exorius

First one obviously drops from the raid boss. Never found the others during the hour i was in game before servers shut down

Chess

So you saw the Barnacle drop? Is it a rare drop, do you know? I mean as in “it may drop” or “drops, but only one per raid” or “drops more than one per raid?

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Judging by the photo ‘Kenji’ uploaded people are getting comms and canisters each. The mats will probably be need / greed per raid…

Kjara

Also would like confirmation on whether the Barnacles drop per player or per raid.

Zeno

16m SM Eyeless dropped 5 barnacles for us.. not sure about other.

David P

How many DNA Canisters did he drop? Did each member of the Ops group get all of those Canisters? Just curious. Thanks.

Dragoon

The Exotic Plague Specimen drops from this lvl55 2.5mil HP Rakghul world boss you find wandering near the Spikes.
Shellshock on Alderaan is on the road between the spike and House Trader’s Circle x 2450 y 600

Ely

I killed a lot of stuff tonight but I did see it drop and rolled on it in my group. They seem to drop from The Catalyst, which is a mob in the tunnels. Also, the fungus-harvesting Rakghoul symbiotes listed in the achievements (Fungus Breeder, Fungus Collector, Fungus Cultivator, Fungus Harvester, Fungus Planter) drop Rakghoul DNA.

Ely

Sorry, to clarify I saw the Fungal Bloom drop from The Catalyst.

Ryakiri

Ran 16M SM Eyeless and he dropped I think 4-5 Barnacles. It’s a mat and gives you the need/greed option.

Ekul

Hi Dulfy, I found a daily in the House Thul area that required me to immunize 5 soldiers or House Thul NPC’s. I did not manage to find anyone to immunize or treat with the serum I was given. It was located on a table behind Doctor Ressel.

Ekul

It’s called [Daily} Quarrantine: House Thul

Darth Defilen

Npc’s titled “infected soldier/citizen” are what you need to find. Like Shady characters forthe bounty event, they take a few moments to respawn, so keep hunting!

Ardidaj

Guildie of mine said that a Pale Rakling dropped off an elite, but didn’t provide the name.

Sahach

Anyone that’s cleared the Eyeless HM (8M or 16M) wanna give me any hints and tips on you’ve managed to kill it? I assume SM will be like Xeno SM (a very basic fight with little mechanics) but I want to clear HM tonight.

tommythepower

So i cant use my old DNA samples ??

Yajard

You trade them in, 50 old DNA samples for 1 DNA canister.

Thruddle

There’s also a “Spreading the Infection” daily for infecting 3 other players by blowing up from stage 3 infection. You get it automatically once you infect someone.

Nonya

minimum level for the intro quests seems to be level 20. level 18 sees the gray not-yet-available quest icon above the fleet holoterminal. level 20 gets the “talk to the doctor on alderaan” quest. no handy level 19 to test.

Nonya

update: level 20 can complete all intro quests and pick up 4 dailies + heroic from the mission terminal in the tunnels. (use the speeder to get to the Spike.)

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool ty for the info

Van

It might be worth specifically mentioning the THORN Speeder (next to the THORN camp) that transports you directly to the Spike. I’ve seen several people complaining about PvPers camping the area between King’s Pass and the Spike to grief people and prevent them from getting to the Spike.

Nonya

mobs in the heroic 4 area spawn at minimum level 25, even if your highest group member is under that

Nonya

update: level 20 “not eligible for conversation” with datapad at the House Thul triage tent (assume this is the start of “[Daily] Quarantine: House Thul”?, might be too low level or perhaps missing some other requirement)

update: a lv24 toon sees the gray not-yet-available quest icon over the House Organa datapad. guessing this one is minimum-level-25 and just weirdly out of sync with the other dailies.

Ancaglon

I think it’s an oversight, after all my level 21 Sentinel was even able to do the Story Mode 16m Operation

Zenight

Am I safe in assuming that in a PvP server both factions have the quests in the same tunnel?

Nonya

on a PvE server both factions are questing in the same tunnel, so i’m guessing yours is a very safe assumption

darkfather

Where in gods name is a Tunnel Lurker? I didn everything and whent everywhere, never saw one. How the heck are you supposed to get the Pet achievements if it is a rare boss….STUPID!!!!

Anthony Phillip Cuchra

He is kinda like Dreadtooth he runs around in a circle in the area before the heroic area and in the outermost part.

MsStinkyPie

has anyone seen the Fungus Cultivator? I’ve been going around and I can’t seem to find him anywhere. I’ve got the other ones down easy.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Same, can’t find him but I marked all the other ones.

Art

As petty as it is, I’d just want to point out that Kira is a knight companion and Tharan is a consular companion. He’s also a pacifist.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Not petty at all, corrected thanks

McDunkins

“The Rakghoul Nightmare” title is unavailable to those who were not around during the first event right?

maximusrex

Unless they have added a new way to get the pale and crimson tackling a that is correct

SubFT

This morning I picked up a Pale Rakling when turning in a mission. I am thinking that they are dropping the Crimson and Pale Raklings this way at random. I don’t know anyone else getting them as yet, though. Anyone else got one via random drop?

TVDNL

Just got a Pale Rakling from a Frenzied Plaguebearer(Elite) he randomly spawned and attacked me near House organa

Taft

It seems to be a confirmed drop from Frenzied Rakghoul elite. But his spawn is random.

Indeed, and it’s funny that for a level 20, the initial level 25 “trigger” mob is far harder to kill than the level 20 strongs/elites that spawn when that is engaged. Once I hit 21, hitting the level 25 mobs became much easier — at 20, at least half the attacks were plain missing. (Also, at level 20, I could not get the mission to vaccinate the infected citizens/soldiers).

oofalong

Does anyone know if the pets that drop from random champions are BoE, BoP or BoL? Also has anyone seen the Crimson Rakling drop?

Sahach

I’ve seen a Crimson Rakling drop;

From the Tunnel Lurker – We got it first drop.

oofalong

cool, thanks

Skyy

Hadn’t seen it posted yet (or possibly missed seeing it), but Ive located the Fungus Cultivator for the “Hey, Im a Fungi’ achievement. Its in the Heroic Area, in the back corner where the little pond comes to an end. He’s usually behind a Fungus growth, so he’s hard to see. Hope this helps anyone who cant find him.
Skyy; Guild: Galactic Wolf Council; Server: Jedi Covenant

Came to post that.

I can vouch that this is the correct location.

“[name], The Rakghoul Nightmare – You earned this title by participating
in rakghoul plague relief efforts on Alderaan, Corellia and Tatooine.” So probably tatooine will return.

Mumakil

Are the items used for the rep vendor trade able or are they just like the gree helixes

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

All of the rewards are Bind to Legacy except for THORN Priority Authorization which is BoP. This is for the reputation vendor only. Jeelvic has some stuff that are tradeable like the color crystals.

Potato

I think the question is about the DNA canisters, which are BoP

Qilavi

[name], The Rakghoul Nightmare – You earned this title by participating in rakghoul plague relief efforts on Alderaan, Corellia and Tatooine. So i suppose there’s gonna be a rakghoul event on Corellia too? Planet rotation between next rounds of the event would be rly nice

Areneth

I want rakghouls in the Citadel and Senate ^^

Craves

We (Girth) just 5 manned Shellshock on live. It’s easily 3 mannable if you have the patience. (Northwest of the Drill on Alderaan.) Dropped an Exotic Plague Specimen for everyone, and 1 Plagueshard Lylek. No achievement. Only one trick to the fight.

Zeridan

It’s odd, I already have The Catalyst part of the one achievement you mentioned, Dulfy, and I didn’t do the event yet. I’m guessing it was from Koan or Lost Island, though I don’t know if they implemented something new.

Gojyo

This is missing the location of the extra mission pick up for Jeelvic (it’s a datapad on a rock),
and it’s missing mission infect other players, which apparently no one know how to do properly (they say die next to people, but that doesn’t work for me).

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope, they are both in the guide. The jeelvic mission is under jeelvic section and the infect other players is under how to start & misc dallies (last part of it)

Ziodus

Just received the Fungal Rakling from the Fungus Breeder; not sure if it only drops from this guy or from all of them, or even if they each have their own special pet.

Zanteera

I just had the Fungal Rakling drop from the Fungus Planter, so perhaps any one of the five can drop it.

Matthew Ottoson

Is this a temp event like Gree or a new area like Cerkza

Vuun

It’s a temp event like Gree.

Matthew Ottoson

thx

Alex G

I have the Daily for infecting other players on my Sorc, I can get a photo of the mission log for you if you need it!

Vicious

Where do the Bloom tokens drop?

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

From elite Fungal Rakghouls – see the maps posted above

Old_Benn

Are the rewards for 16-man SM/HM different than the rewards for 8-man?

Daniel Moreno

Likely the same, just doubled.

Lord Zalla

Are the crystals sold by the jawa also Bind on Legacy?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

No they are tradeable

Lord Zalla

Grazie

Pros

Is this a one time event, or will it be recurring?

Robert Hindy

Recurring, but the places that the event is in will change. Tatooine and Corellia are 2 of the other places.

Daniel Moreno

I like that they chose that direction. I wish they would have multiple events up at any given time and just rotate which planets they were on.

Nomar

Seeing as it has reputation. My guess it’s a recurring event.

Xaffax

Man, I can’t wait to get home from work. The in-game events page on swtor.com still says Bounty Contract week is still live, so no info there. Does the launcher say how long the RR is running?

derrajx

Got this pet from Shellshock

Draezele

For the Hey! I’m a Fungi! achievement, do the 5 kills of each have to be on a single character? Or are there 5 spawn points that must be killed? I killed a second Collector today (on another toon) and it didn’t advance the counter. But when I killed another one on the same toon (3 total, 2nd for the character), it advanced the counter. Any info?

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

legacy characters so can be spread out

FilthyHandz

I counts for all toons in your legacy

ChibiSeira

Anyone know yet if f2p/preferred need an ops pass for The Eyeless?

It is an Ops boss, so you will need a pass.

There is a world boss called “Shellshocked” that is available to everyone out near the Spike.

Magnus

I don’t understand how do you get the “The Rakghoul Nightmare” title?

ddddd

I wonder too

Robert Hindy

Wait until the event comes around next time and a third on Tatooine and Corellia.

ddddd

So were did dulfy find out about it being on tat n correlia?

Yajard

Data mining I’m assuming.

Ancaglon

Even without that, on certain locations on Corellia you get “The Spike” Codex entry, with a picture that clearly shows Corellia, not anywhere else. I imagine this is also true of Tatooine.

Exiledspirit

Had the Catalyst spawn 3 times in the same place the Planter spawns.

Belisar

Does anybody know if the Symbiotic Fungal Bloom is BoP or BoL?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Tradeable

Belisar

Like the Completed Bounty Contracts or is there a chance for them to end up in the GTN?

Guest

Any word on how long this event will run?

TJWoo

Lasts 1 week

Matthew Ottoson

Any word on how long this event will last?

TJWoo

1 week

enderandrew

There appear to be 3 planets and Bioware said the event will be on Alderaan for one week. Not sure if there will be a break between planets or if the next planet will start right away next week.

Eric

Any chance to obtain the old event gear that we may have missed out on when our questlines bugged out last event and Bioware did not rectify despite multiple tickets?!?!?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

No old event gear so far

Eric

Hopefully when the event heads back to Tatooine, this set will be available again. Hopefully.

Igdo

damn they didn’t bring the tusken raider gear back?

Eric

Pretty sure the Tusken Raider Gear was from the Chevin event.

Igdo

oh yeah, your right, I was thinking of the containment set

Eric

Yeah I was hoping that the Containment set would be returning. My quest line bugged out on day 3 and I missed the chest and belt from the set. Would really like to be able to complete the set.

Chad Cloman

So somehow I killed The Catalyst and didn’t even know it. Can anyone explain what The Catalyst is, and how you find it?

EDIT: Here’s something I found: “The Catalyst is a rare spawn that can replace any of the 5 Fungus Champions you need for the Hey! I’m a Fungi achievement. Like the Fungus Champions, it has a chance to drop the parts you need to purchase the mounts and pets from Jeelvic.”

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

It is a bug, I got the Catalyst part of the achievement even before the Rakghoul event started. If you want to read about The Catalyst, you can find it under Rare Spawns.

Mbfhl

Same. It’s a good bug for once

Chad

As a side note, that Treek customization looks amazing. She is my fave.

Tahyri

Took the Thorn Speeder directly to the Spike instead of riding and didn’t get the codex entry. Tried riding away from the Spike and coming back, but still no codex entry. Is there somewhere specific you need to come from/go to get it?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Click on the elevator that take you down to the rakghoul tunnels.

Tahyri

That gave us the Rakghoul Tunnels codex entry, but not the Spike

http://nazzir.blogspot.com/ Kurgan Nazzir

You have to kind of fly around a little bit away from the Spike to get the entry to pop up. I got it twice from the SW corner towards where the Nerf is past the tree.

Rico

Can you get the old armor from the past rakghoul event?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope

Jason

Are Exotic Plague Specimen BoP? is it only shellshock that drops them?

Pri’ya

They are BoP, I think Shellshock is the only way to get them.

Jason

thanks for the reply

SirRobinII

Map of the fungal spawns.
There also some datapad close to the terminal and elevator entrance, how can you unlock it ?

Areneth

Its datapad with House Organa/House Thul Daily

Telanis

Killed Shellshock, then sat and waited — his respawn is exactly 20 minutes. Coordinates 2444, 607. The fight is simple, everyone in the raid should get a stack of vaccines and use one every time he puts an infection on you (because it’s a rapid-stun version and effectively locks you out of the fight). Tank and spank otherwise, no swapping. Not sure if tank might need to be cleansed.

Kaiden

Any word on if the Crimson Rakling pet is available in this event?

Pri’ya

I believe it is available as a random drop from enemies. I’ve personally seen a Pale Rakling drop, and a guildie got a Crimson.

Kaiden

Do you know what he killed to get it to drop? I’m eager to get my hands on a Crimson.

chiz

the crimson droped for me from the tunnel lurker on the 4th time we killed him

Randor

I got Crimson drop off a Tunnel Lurker last night, FYI.

ApNop

Got Crimson today from Lurker. Too bad , I had it a it already from Tatoine event, and it’s BoP.

FilthyHandz

I got the crimson rakling off The Lurker with the midnight rakling out, if the midnight rakling caused the drop I do not know

Vuun

Are those Rakgouls pets different from the old ones ? I mean, no differences between the old Midnight Rakling (HM Lost Island) and the one that is mentioned in the success ?

FilthyHandz

No difference, same one

Vuun

Thanks !

Jeremy Marr

The old Rakghoul DNA Samples from the old Rakghoul event are still dropping off of Champion and Elite mobs in the tunnels on Alderaan? Is that a bug, or a normal part of the event?

Areneth

Its part of the event

TVDNL

Small typo in the ‘The Eyeless” section – “8m hardmdoe: 3.8 mil”

Joseph F

One thing that you didn’t note on the Eyeless boss is that players all receive a bolster when they are fighting him. So you don’t really need to be 55 to take him down, though it’s probably much more difficult.

Yajard

Bolster only works for Story Mode, NOT Hard Mode!

Mortúùs

Anyone know the barnacle drops off of eyeless 16M? (SM/HM)

Zenight

Did SM 16m yesterday, 4 dropped and I got 2 of them, we couldn’t finished HM, too many people insisted on staying in the one hit kill purple pound range…

All this random drop stuff and random mobs is a big downer for this event. Having to fight the Event boss and HOPE you get the Barnacle of the Eyeless is ridiculous. I killed him and got nothing. EVERYONE should get at least 1 each week they fight him. And trying to get these Rakghoul pet achievements is going to be pretty much impossible. Really ruined my hopes for the event with this stuff. At least the stuff for Bounty Event was all possible if you grinded, but stuff based on luck just ruins it.

TJWoo

I tend to agree the luck factor was overplayed with this event. But what’s worse about the barnacles is that the ninjas are out in full force. Love when a master looter takes all the barnacles for himself. Bioware could fix this problem by not allowing such loot shenanigans, but they turn a blind eye.

alxmdsn

you’re so punny :p

TJWoo

Killed 80 of the fungus champions tonight. Saw 0 catalysts. However, out of the 80 kills I got 2 symbiotic fungal blooms.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

That’s unlucky – spent an hr last night getting the achievement and killed the Catalyst twice, got 3 blooms as one dropped from a harvester and a Fungal rakling

Seraphyne

Got the fungal rakling off of a random drop from the Fungal Champions in the tunnels – Bound to legacy and requires Hero standing with the T.H.O.R.N. Giggledust/Seraphyne Jedi Convenant

Belisar

Any ideas on how long Shellschock takes to respawn?

Koen

someone said 20 minutes

Simon Quag Watson

I can confirm that 10 stacks of infected phlegm in SM (most likely HM also) will instant kill a person.

SNF

Is this going to be a recurring event like the Gree?

I’ve kind of fallen out of playing SWTOR (although I’ll probably get back into it at some point), so it’d be nice to know if I’m going to miss out if I don’t immediately get back into it.

Nakira

Rumor has it one week only, and it will reoccur so to speak by moving to tat and corellia for one week each over the next year. So if you want to see Alderaan, you have to do it this week or wait four months till it goes to the next planet.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

The Jeelvic datapad isn’t repeatable

oofalong

I concur. If someone has been able to repeat it please describe how.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Hmm I was able to repeat it after the weekly reset. I will double check

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

It hasn’t reset after the daily reset – tried on both factions

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

This way doing all the dailies gets you 4 canisters per day, 1 for Jeelvic, 2 for the Ops boss 1 time and the 1 for starting the event area first time = 32 canisters per week. What are the drops from the Ops boss like for 16m?

Telanis

Dailies are not the same as weeklies.

Kurt Bench

Hey dulfy what levels are the crystals are they all level 50 or are some level 10 with the +41 stats

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Some are level 30ish etc, not all of them are +41 stats

Hachiman

How do you get and who drops the Symbiotic Fungal Bloom and Exotic Plague Specimen???

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

SFB is from the elite fungal rakghouls and the Catalyst while the EPS drops from the WB outside the spike

Taft

Data mining showed that data for a mob in the Kaon flashpoint, The Midnight Rakghoul, had been changed. Has anyone encountered this mob yet? Is it possible he is a guaranteed drop for the Midnight Rakling? Is only around during the Rakghoul Resurgence event?

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Midnight Rakling as been around since Kaon started…

Taft

I understand that. It was a rare drop from Lost Island. What I am asking is if this mob has been changed, and if so does he give a guaranteed drop like the Frenzied Plaguebearer does for the Pale Rakling now. The Pale Rakling was also “around” since the previous event.

Rafaello

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the change? I’m trying to get the Rakling, but I really don’t want to have to grind LI HM a bunch of times.

oofalong

Has anyone seen the Plaguehorn Reek or Plaguetooth Sleen? The Plagueshard Lylek drops from Shellshock, the Open World Event Boss on Alderaan. I wonder if the other two plagued pets drop from Open World Event Bosses on the future planets that will be affected by the Rakghoul Plague – Corellia and Tatooine (based on the title The Rakghoul Nightmare).

Vuun

Seems logical. Probably the Reek for Tatooine and the Sleen for Corellia.

Rex

For “Hey, I’m A Fungi” each of the fungal rakghouls seem to have a set spawn point, other than the Catalyst which is random. The Respawn timer is about 2.5 minutes, so its probably best if you sit in a spot and get the 5 kills instead of trying to run from spot to spot.

martin

does anybody know how long will this event last?

TJWoo

Lasts one week.

Elfy

This event will be return in every mounth or just we got at this week ?
Where can I buy the Plaguehorn Reek pet ? ^^

Seraphyne

it’s not purchased it’s a drop, one of the plaguehorn pets dropped off the world boss Shellshock

Ardidaj

The reek is probably dropped off the tatooine wb when the event goes there. Sleen from corellia is my guess

Nothematic

Anyone know what the drops for 16 man SM/HM are?

colston

hi guys, does anybody know the relics that grants immunity, are they BoE or BoP?

Marc Salazar

They are Bind to Legacy. Great for leveling toons. One at levels 25, 35 & 45 available.

iceberg265

Spike codex entry bugged? I have not got it on any of the chars I have done the event on yet.

iceberg265

Nvm got it after riding around the area a bit.

Nakira

So it appears for the Eyeless fight, at least on hardmode, if you get more than 5 stacks of the green puddle debuff you explode and kill anyone near you. I stood in it to see and got six stacks before I exploded and took out another person standing nearby. Thought this might be helpful to add.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Indeed, we never got to such high stacks but good to know

Ardidaj

The team I was with made it to 10 before death.

Telanis

On SM, though.

Anthony Phillip Cuchra

Yeah I can confirm that, at least in SM, the stack can reach 10 before you get kill targeted with an explosion similar to the rak plague

JukkeBoxxsin

Any idea what kind of gear requirement is needed for The Eyeless Hm ?

I’ve gotten into many groups for Hm on multiple characters running as rdps, mdps, tank, and healer and have yet to get him down on 16m Hm. after watching the 8M Hm video i wonder if it might be a gear issue with some groups. any ideas ? or tips for tanking ?

DarthBiss

It drops an Arkanian Token, so theoretically you should have a group in at least full lv66 gear. That being said gear helps and the higher the better. For the most part this is all about the mechanics. Can you get 16 people to get out of the green circles as they spawn? Can you get the Tanks and Melee to avoid getting smashed by the giant purple circle? And can you off-tank the adds and DPS them down before they eat the healers? Beat those three mechanics and you are set.

Vader

there is a hard heals check after the purple circle the boss can kill the tank if heals arent spamming heals

Dragoon

I laughed when the boost to 55 made my lvl49 tank vanguard stronger that the lvl55 tank guardian. He had ~30k while I had ~32k HP.

Vader

yeah my 35 sin ended up with 36k enough to easily tank it

JukkeBoxxsin

This has happened alot when the fight starts off good and we’re doing just fine then the tank starts to take massive dmg and it starts to go down hill from there the dps start to die off or the Main Tank dies an all hell breaks loose. I’ll keep that in mind although i have been getting in 16m ops rather than 8M. 8M usually being easier maybe ill try to get in a 8M Op an see what happens. That first smash The Eyeless does doesn’t show up however an the mdps an sometimes the tank gets caught in that. Wish me luck would really like to down Hm. Thank You.

Vader

the difference between hm and sm is ridiculous i tanked sm on a lvl 35 sin

AriesCZ

I think the quest to find Jeelvic the Jawa is not repeatable. Or at least for me, as I get “Not eligible for this conversation” error when clicking on it on character that did it yesterday.

Telanis

It might be a weekly.

AriesCZ

Well, no way to test it until the event comes back.

Rafaello

Some friends of mine ran the dailies when they first hit servers (at like 5 am server time), then again after 8 am when the weekly reset. They said they could do the Jawa one both times (meaning it’s a weekly).

BoredwTor

Great guide as always Dulfy! I ran this all day yesterday on day one. Maybe it’s just because I’m a SWTOR founder from day one and played this game far too much (hardcore through end game too many alts) for the first year and also off and on since.
But these rewards BW is giving us for this same old shiz with new skins crap is getting old. I have a stock pile of the Blk/Grn crystals from the first time. This is BW at it’s laziest. Nothing special. But again. Great guide. So thanks for that.

dodgerfn

I believe this is the only way to get the black green crystals, so they brought them back for everyone that doesn’t have them

Stephen S. Bowman

hmm i really like the handle on these lightsabers

KTap

Has it been confirmed that the hidden achievement for pvp is infect 1000 people, and not defeat 1000 players in the tunnels? I’d prefer not to reach 1000 infected and find out it’s the latter

Sciclex

“Everyone’s favourite Jawa vendor Jeelvic is back! He can be found in The
Epicenter area of the Rakghoul tunnels but before you bolt your way to
there, grab a repeatable quest off the Contagion Zone as that will not only lead you to Jeelvic but also give you 1 Rakghoul DNA Canister.”

I can confirm that this quest is NOT repeatable.

Mbfhl

It said it was, but I’ve just gone to repeat it and it wouldn’t let me

Korven

I’m assuming it’s a weekly repeatable.

Grem

I saw someone tonight with an “Alderaan Rakling” pet tonight. I don’t see it anywhere on this guide. Am I just missing it?

Mbfhl

It’s not a pet, its part of one of the daily missions.

Sciclex

Is there a Minimum Level requirement to be awarded “Spreading the Infection”?

Sciclex

I’ve also found that the low level Scan for Beacons quests do not reward DNA Canisters, not sure where the cut off is but I did it on a 25 and a 29.

Telanis

I’ve heard that this is simply buggy and sometimes does not give the correct reward.

y2z

It doesn’t list the DNA canister as a reward in the mission log for my Sniper, level 43. Confirmed it doesn’t award it either for completing the quest. On my 5 other toons it is listed a reward.

Sean

On the basis of grinding the dailies to reach weekly rep cap and 86 tokens to use in the following week, and having received a DNA canister _once_ on each of three characters out of a dozen all in the 37-38 range I’ve been running the dailies with, it’s either badly bugged or the mission has a _chance_ of awarding a DNA canister.

fatsheep

Hey Dulfy, It seems in 16M SM/HM Eyeless if you get lucky and get the Symbiote Rakling drop its 2x, also can confirm it drops from SM and HM as i have seen both killing him with all my alts.

Sciclex

I did a 16M SM with Guild on Tuesday night and it only dropped 1 of them, maybe you got double lucky!

fatsheep

Well, I might have been confused on when I did 8 and 16man, but I know for a fact it was 2x pets on 16HM, so maybe its only 1x on SM

Potato

On 16 man, I saw 1x drop from SM and 3x drop from HM

fatsheep

I guess it’s a random chance of 1 or several pets then.

Kesa

Will you be able to get crystals after event is ended, or jawa guy will be on NS as with the rest of vendors selling items?

Augusstuss

Could you provide screenshots for the hidden achievements? Noone will go for them until they can only be wild rumors. And what does that “There are 4 hidden achievements that will be revealed once you have done the daily quests.” means at all? It didn’t happen after completing all the current missions.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

100 points missing from ‘General’ which I am taking to be the correlia and tatooine versions of ‘Tunneling through the mountain’ = 25 each and a 50 pointer for doing all 3 worlds and getting the title.

That’s 3 so the 4th PvP would be infect or kill 1000

Mallea

Does anyone know if the symbiote talking from the eyeless is BOP or trade able?

fatsheep

It’s bound to legacy

Detro

Midnight Rakghoul is on Kaon, it’s a new hidden boss who drops the pet… LVL 55 boss

Telanis

Details?

RVNGR

It’s near the bonus boss, it infects a lot so event relic is a must otherwise you get stunned every two seconds. Other than that it a easy 350k level 55 boss that only drops midnight rakling

freim

Kaon SM or HM ?

Smaska

every boss in lost island can drop it

Zanteera

Smaska – on SM or HM?

bleeters

Right before you enter the spaceport at the very end of the flashpoint, turn right and head up onto the upper platform. It’s against a gate on the far end of the first bridge.

Just to also add, his stunlocking plague debuff works on companions, making it awkward to solo. If you plan on using a healer companion, you’re probably going to struggle. I personally gave Dorne’s gear to Treek and respecced my commando to healer, but not everyone has that option. Bring a buddy.

Other than that, it’s basically just the tunnel lurker, or the champion from the H4: does knockdowns, throws AoE stun rocks from time to time, hits fairly hard.

Marl

Pictures from Kaon SM:

Trogdor

Your suggestion for the ‘spread the infection’ daily is to spend 1+ mil (I think it’s more for f2p) on the vip lounge token?

I have two more practical tips. You can either 1) queue for a warzone once you reach stage 2 and try to die in the middle of a crowd (people in pvp are less likely to be vaccinated/already infected) or 2) park yourself in the middle of a crowd on the fleet station, and do a galactic starfighter match. Buff durations don’t seem to pause during GS matches, so by the time the match is over you should be about ready to explode. At least then you will have been doing something with your time.

Eric

I think that the suggestion to use the VIP lounge was more gathered towards those that had access either through purchasing the CE or just an assumption that most players had access.

but i think your suggestion 1 would be best case for anyone without access. .

Chad Cloman

You also get the VIP wristband, among other things, when you spend $5 for the Digital Upgrade Pack.

martin

what are the stats on Antiviral Kit MK1-3 (relics)?

Dragoon

MK 1 Antiviral Kit 5k credits lvl 25 +22 Endurance +32 Presence

MK 2 Antiviral Kit 10k credits lvl 35 +35 Endurance +49 Presence

MK 3 Antiviral Kit 20k credits lvl 45 +51 Endurance +70 Presence

Vandal

I’ve been unable to get the trick to work for “spreading infection” daily by jumping off the VIP area – either I’m having the worst luck, or doing something wrong. I wait until I am stage 2 infected, then go up to VIP area, jump over the railing onto the tarp (I’m on republic side) then off the edge, falling to my death and exploding in the crowd, but have yet to infect a single person that way. Anyone have any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

Vandal

Please disregard, I guess I was just getting unlucky – finally got it to work.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

I prefer doing it on my Jugg’ dps – it seems the Imperial fleet is more polite then the reps… they are happy to congregate for the explosion and you can jump off the VIP and ‘intercede’ to someone. Usually getting 3-6 infections…

Delvok

Dulfy, Delvok of Jung Ma server here, Wuld and I confirmed there is a secret boss in Kaon Under Siege. We did this boss twice to confirm he has an %100 drop rate for Midnight Rakling, (We believe) The boss’s mechanics are identical to the Tunnel Lurker, except he has Shellshock’s Plague affect. He is located on the upper level of the transit district, which you can access near the Spaceport, Enjoy!

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool, thanks for the pics and info

Ancaglon

I’m just astonished that you use so few abilities, and that you’ve actually got empty slots and “rest abilities” on your main hotbar…

Delvok

A lot of my keybinds I have memorized, or I cycle through the bars. I use all of my abilities, and in pvp, healing at a moments notice can be life or death

Marnis

Character specific titles:
[name], The Rakghoul Nightmare – You earned this title by participating in rakghoul plague relief efforts on Alderaan, Corellia and Tatooine.

So please explain that part. Will this even be continuing until it’s been revealed on all 3 planets or is it on all 3 planets right this second?

Scottie

Neither. The event is a recurring one. It’s only lasting for a week right now (and is only on alderaan right now). We take this to mean that , after a break, it will pop up on corellia or tatooine, and then repeat the cycle.

Scottie

The Eyeless fight (HM & SM) cheater-face strategy. ;p.

One tank, two heals, rest dps. (ranged dps is preferred)

Tank kites the boss in a giant circle pattern. Should be making as large a circumference circle as possible (but don’t dive into the alcoves). One heals pocket heals the tank, running the circle with him. (It would seem an operative and assassin would be best for this, but we developed the strategy, and had the easiest success, with a sorc and a juggernaut.) If the tank is moving properly (i.e. constantly), you should take very minimal damage. Dps burns the boss. When adds pop, second heals and dps pile up, clear adds, then back to boss. Repeat. Everyone avoids circles. Done.

I know there were some groups struggling, so I hope this helps.
We took people in green gear though with no difficulty.
(Feel free to poke me, “Scottie” on Begeren Colony if you need.)

Cheers!

Ancaglon

I kind of tanked it this way (on 16M HM) more by luck than by judgement, I moved out of range whenever it did the purple circle OR the “Pound” (but I ran back to it when Pound finished). It worked pretty well.

Tom

the daily the tunnel network don’t gave rakghoul DNA canister.

Chad Cloman

It did, because I specifically remember being surprised at getting one for a plain old daily mission. Yet I just ran it yesterday with an alt for the first time, and the reward didn’t include a DNA canister. Maybe they changed it?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

People on forums said it is kinda buggy

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

That may explain why I’m 1 canister shy on my main despite doing all the dailies…

Sean

It looks as if it got fixed Monday; after Sunday, I had one character that lucked out and had gotten two DNA canisters from the daily, plus the one from finding Jeelvic. I had time Monday to run six characters through the dailies, and all of them got a DNA canister. Which left me with one character with four, two with three, and the rest with one or two. With the canisters being bound, that effectively prevents me from getting any of the rep gear I was interested in, although it’s remotely possible that Bioware might, in recognition of the fact that the mission reward was borked for most of the event, make existing DNA canisters BoL so that we could at least consolidate them for buying rewards. I’m not holding my breath for it to happen, although it will take me three weeks to use all the rep tokens I accumulated.

Naffnerf

My lvl 55 chars get one, my lvl 25-50 chars did not. Maybe we only get it on max level?

Sean

It appears to be a _chance_ of getting a Rakghoul DNA Canister; in the process of getting to 140 points short of weekly cap and accumulating (as of last night) 86 rep tokens to be used over the following weeks, I’ve gotten _three_ of them from that mission, one on each of three different characters, out of the dozen characters I’ve been cycling through the dailies. This is a disturbingly low drop rate for a BoP reward that you need four or more for most of the rewards bought with them.

DrumerGuy1984

For those looking for locations of the beacons to scan for “Tunnel Network”, they are located IVO the following coordinates:

The new boss in Kaon for the Midnight Rakling, is it HM only or is it that you folks sharing the pics just prefer doing HM?

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

I just did it on SM with a friend and he’s there as a L55 with 300k health with a guaranteed drop.

http://nazzir.blogspot.com/ Kurgan Nazzir

Sweet, thanks.

Zra-teh

Kurgan > I thnk you can easily assume, that if it drops in SM it also drops in HM

Khan

Is the Pet ach’s for killing the Tunnel Lurker bugged? I just killed the lurker with my midnight rakling out and i never got the ach? 0.o

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

I found you had to have the pet out before you initiate the fight – I had attacked one from my mount and then the pet spawned, needless to say it didn’t count. When I dismounted and then attacked with the pet already out it did.

http://nazzir.blogspot.com/ Kurgan Nazzir

But your pets are out while you are mounted, they don’t desummon like companions. I read the Midnight Rakling (maybe another one, too) achievement is buggy. I was able to get the Crimson Raklling achievement without even being in the group of the person who was fighting the Lurker. I just happened by and saw that his tank companion was dying so I started fighting and healing.

Khan

Yeah, i wasn’t mounted i was running behind him. I tried also with the Pale Rakling and i never got the ach either. But i will try again after i finish my dailies on my other alts.

Ancaglon

It seems to require the killing blow from either yourself or your companion in order to get the Achievement — it doesn’t correlate with who “locked” the mob by hitting it first.

Chad Cloman

Actually, that’s not quite correct about need to have it out before you initiate the fight. I had the pet turned off, started the fight, then summoned the pet, and got the achievement. It wasn’t the Midnight Rakling, it was another one.

second page is a rep tokens spreadsheet for full completion. names will auto-populate from the first page into the second database

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool ty

Rob

Hah that’s funny, I came here to post my own version of this exact same thing. Just fill in your character names and anything highlighted grey, it will populate everything else. The “Daily missions needed” is based on not doing the infect other people mission, because that’s annoying as hell.

Astonishing guide as always Thanks for answering my questions on the swtor forum on the first day btw. First, more questions! Do you have any sense of the drop rate for the Symbiotic Fungal Bloom on The Catalyst vs. the 5 fungal elites? Related, do you have any sense of the spawn rate of The Catalyst? I’m really hoping the spawn rate isn’t as bad as Desler in the Czerka area. I’ve never gotten him and I’ve killed *many* of the Fungi yellow mobs. Sometimes I wait a few rounds of respawns and sometimes i’ve simply killed all of them and waited 1 respawn each time. I have yet to get a single Symbiotic Fungal Bloom

-Dimmu’jan-kaarl
Jedi Covenant server

KittyWhiskers1

I too would like to know the spawn rate of the catalyst. The first couple of days, I found him 3 times, but the last couple of days I haven’t seen him at all.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

Farmed it for an hr twice to get the DNA samples and Fungal bloom and he pop 3 times within the hr on both times. That’s running back and forth between 2 elites to get them every time.

Ancaglon

I got him just once in the process of getting 5 of each of the others — and he dropped the Bloom.

The Midnight Rakghoul – Secret Boss in Kaon under Siege

Does anyone know if it’s HM only, or is it possible to get it in SM?

Augusstuss

Why not reading the very end of this guide for your own answer?

Gavin

Huh. I must have looked it over four times and not seen what I see now. I must have needed more sleep last night.

Thanks!

Saratje

Frenzied Plaguebearers dropping Pale Raklings. Since the frenzies are always women half mutated with Rakghoul limps and human bodies and heads, I can only wonder if they are pregnant with those things. Disturbing!

360

I think you may be responsible for making it disturbing by drawing out that connection…

Saratje

Hardly, don’t be squeamish. It’s like the movie Aliens, where the facehuggers spread by using human hosts until they essentially explode.

y2z

Any idea if this is gonna be a constantly recurring event or will it just run three times (once per planet) and then be done?

About the hidden achievements, I’ve done the daily quests on various characters and both factions, still these 4 do not show up for me:

“There are 4 hidden achievements that will be revealed once you have done the daily quests”

Can you maybe explain that a bit more dulfy?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

If you read the sections on the hidden dally achievements, you would see that those are achievements for doing the rakghoul stuf on corellia, tatooine and on both factions. So only 1 out 4 of the hidden achievements will show up now

darkfather

So what are the ones on corellia, tatooine and on both factions?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Read the description on the hidden achievements posted here, it tells you what you need to do. Also corellia/tatooine are not active yet so you can’t get them just yet.

Tman

That doesn’t explain how you know about it, does it?

Ancaglon

There’s a guy who posts on the swtor subreddit as swtor_miner that does data mining on the game data files, these achievement strings are in the data files that were patched with 2.5.

Naffnerf

Hm. Killed 50+ Fungus Elites and did not even get 1 Symbiotic Fungal Bloom. So we have to farm this sh… to death? Thanx BioFail.

Tman

I was lucky and got it within the first ~5 kills. After that never again.

bleeters

Symbiotic Fungal Bloom is, as far as I’m aware, guaranteed to drop from the Catalyst.

Naffnerf

No, it isn’t.

James

yes it is. I found catalysts 2 times, and every kill, i got 1 symbiotic.
but never got that pet

Eric

Not true. I only found 1 catalyst out of 220+ fungals and he did not drop a bloom.

bleeters

Hrmm. Fair enough, then.

James

I got 5 after killing many lvl 50 fungus champ. and 2 catalysts. one of them I traded with barnacle

Eric

I’ve killed over 200 and haven’t had a bloom or a pet drop once!

Eric

Finally got a pet to drop after 220ish kills, still no blooms

James

Is it possible to kill that secret boss in SM KUS with full 72 toon? or at least 2-men that

James

I meant full 72 alone

Magnus

I am in almost full 78 with a 72 geared HK. got my ass handed to me. Gonna try again in a few min.

Nightmare Rakghoul Boss is in both SM and HM. Did it in SM KUS with two geared toons and their companions. Helps to have the Event relics. Only the most awesome will be able to solo it, if even …

jagermensch

Sotry, I mean MIDNIGHT Rakghoul boss. LOL

James

I tried SM one, with my mara full 78 with healer companion, failed in mobs boss. then i got hand from healer friend, then no problem at all

360

Unless you’re a Sorc or something, you really should bring a heal comp with you. If you are a Sorc, your damage reduction is shit (obviously) so you’d bring a tank comp and throw out heals on it.

Antonio

Did it twice with a 78 BiS mara and a 78 Bis Op healer.

darkfather

My DPS Sorc is mostly 78’s and the Sorc healer that came with me was full 72’s. My Xalec is 30k HP and the healers companion was about 25k. We got our asses handed to us. We had to get a pug Tank and everything went much better. Everyone got the pet.

James

yea I got it too with my mara

Jimmy

Does it matter which fungal rakghoul elite we farm? Trying to get the fungal rakling.

Korven

No, they all seem to have the same painfully low drop rate ;p

Eric

I’ve killed at least 10 or more of each type between 4 toons and still have not had one drop. It has been a painful week, and doesn’t look like I am going to get it to happen this go around.

Saratje

I think those Black-Green crystals have the potential to become a proverbal Stone of Jordan* now that so many go around with people hoarding them. F2P players with credit limits would trade a set number “BG’s” for items. In example, a Revan’s Mask may cost the player 15 BG’s. Gone are the days of 300K credit cap issues.

*Stones of Jordan, also known as SoJ’s, were rare rings with high collectors value in the game Diablo 2. Players traded an amount of Stones of Jordan for
valuable items, as gold coins lost their value because of caps on how much gold you could hold. For example, 4 SoJ would buy you a popular and powerful sword.

James

Well, I dont Understand.

Llanx

For example using this method u have two green black crystal, u want a lightsaber that costs lets say 5 million credits, on this example, the green black crystal cost each one 2.5 million credtis, then instead of having the creditss to buy it, u just simply contact the seller hand the two crystals and transaction complete, well at least thats how i undertand(and actually done it ingame, traded 5 mass manipulations for a saber that cost 1.5 million) hope it helps

James

oh u can say it as barter/trade

Llanx

yup

TJWoo

This is interesting, but I would guess most long-time players are subscribers and there’s no credit cap for them. There are lots of rare items that FTP players could use to barter. Isn’t there a restriction on trading for FTP members anyway?

Ancaglon

“Preferred” players can use barter from level 10 onwards, but “Free” players (i.e. never bought anything from Bioware/EA for real money) cannot. I imagine the distinction is pretty much gone since the start of the “recruit a friend” stuff that gives a F2P 7 days of subscribed time for logging in after clicking a referral link, but that is how things currently stand.

Marita

Is there a Rep Vendor on Nar Shaddaa that has Jeelvic’s items or just the 2 that have the weapons/armor and Companion Customizations?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope, just the weapons/armor and customizations in Nar shaddaa.

Marita

Boo!

Guess I’ll have to buy my Raklings and farm/buy a Symbiotic Fungal Bloom to get my Monkey-Lizard before servers go down.

Thanks Dulfy!

Sciclex

You can’t purchase any item that is above your current Reputation level, and seeing as servers go down before the Weekly Reputation reset I would hope that Jeelvic would stay around so people can purchase the stuff that was dangled in front of us for a week.

James

that’s right, I have tried that ^

Sciclex

It was fun while it lasted, thanks for the guide Dulfy!

y2z

Did anybody log out last night while still in the tunnels? What happened? Meant to leave a toon down there but forgot.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

You get kicked out to fleet if you try to move inside the tunnels. 10s warning and then you are kicked back to fleet

Zanteera

According to a guildmate, the 10s timer resets upon log out, so you theoretically could wander around the tunnels 8-9s at a time, although why you would want to other than to see if Jeelvic is there I have no idea.

Sciclex

I can confirm he is not, and yes I did do this >.>…, but all the quests are still available as well, so you can complete them if u don’t take longer than 9s to kill a mob. Also there are a lot more mobs scattered through the caves so moving around in 9s intervals is a lot harder than you may think.

y2z

That’s too bad. I doubt I’ll be able to get my varactyl until the fourth time the event is live then. Assuming it occurs more than just once on the three planets.

Ancaglon

It wasn’t that hard to move around, just stop moving at 8 seconds or so (on speeder) then move again. Killing mobs for the objectives is not something I tried, though.

y2z

Try collecting the 3 rakghouls. Could be an easy way to farm rep tokens. Man, I wish I left somebody down there. They’ll definitely be fixing this before next event.

fettarme

I asked myself, if someone logged out near the Jawa vendor, could he buy something in this 10 sec?

Ancaglon

While the fungal mushrooms (“eggs”) were not active for that Raklings mission, and the Infected Killiks and Joiners were not there either, I did manage to pick up the “Find Jeelvic” mission again on my 21 Sentinel. I then headed toward the Heroic area, dodging packs of rakghouls at various levels (i.e. not all 25, and some were 55) on my speeder to the Heroic area, but Jeelvic was not there.

jagermensch

There is a crater where the Spike was on Alderaan, and the THORN tent, speeder, and vendors are gone.

Belisar

I was a bit disappointed when there was no Containment Officer gear on any vendor, but meanwhile I have a theory. Since there might be a title (Rakghoul Nightmare) for participating in all 3 stages of the event (Alderaan, Tatooine, Corellia) it may also be possible that achieving the title opens up a hidden quest like the Infection quest or reading all 8 holojournals of the Shroud on Nar Shaddaa (where you get the Revered Chronicler set in a box and some XP). It might also be possible that your faction sends you an ingame E-Mail after participating in the Rakghoul Containment on all three planets, like it happens with the MCR-100 probe droid after scanning all MCR-99 droids in the galaxy.

David Luberger

Hello again. Any plans to update the eyeless loot? I can verify that 16 sm eyeless also drops the purple rep trophy, and had I known that I wouldn’t have wasted quite so much time trying to down hardmode, which was virtually unpuggable until the last day or two on my server. I only managed to clear it twice the whole week, whereas I seamlessly cleared storymode 5 times in a row Friday night with only a couple of wipes.

I did not do 8-player storymode so I can’t confirm the drops on that, but 16- player story mode definitely drops the purple trophy.

-Dimmu’jan-kaarl
Jedi Covenant server

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool, what else dropped on 16m sm other than purple rep?

David Luberger

That appears to be the only difference. unfortunately I wasnt paying attention to the number of tokens and one sm 16 did have the symbiote rakling. from what I can tell your loot list is otherwise accurate.

Padraic

In our guild’s 16-man SM kill, we got 4 Barnacles of the Eyeless, plus 8 Basic comms, 6 DNA canisters, and a purple rep token for each of us. In 16-man HM, we got 8 Barnacles, 2 Arkanian tokens (Offhand and Mainhand, though that’s probably random), plus a handful of Ultimate and Elite comms (I want to say 8 and 12, but I don’t remember), 8 DNA canisters, and a purple rep token for each of us. No Symbiote Raklings for us, though.

-Padraic (Grievance, Jedi Covenant)

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool, ty for info, I will add it in

David Luberger

Eyeless is still here! If you DONT MOVE when you log into the game (assuming you logged out while still in the tunnels) you can qt to the ops area and stand there (again, dont move). form a group, set the phase, then quickly run (you’ll get a warning as soon as you move, but the ops entrance is only steps away). I am tabbed out of the game as i type this to let you know. I will update once we down him to verify that this is legit and that drops, etc still work, but we wiped once and when you release back outside, you still can just stand there and not get kicked!

-Dimmu’jan-kaarl
Jedi Covenant server

Moondust

Hey David I’m on JC also. Care to meetbup around 10 Central and give the Op another shot? I have successfully completed with multiple toons in Sm and Hm

Sciclex

Bonus boss is no longer in Kaon Under Siege, at least Story Mode anyway.

Ancaglon

Nor apparently in Hard Mode, 3 of my Guildmates went there last night to check it out — one of them had been trying to get that pet from Dr Lorick in HM LI for about a year — but we’ll know to hit Kaon next time the Event comes on.

They also mentioned they got a new Codex entry, something about “the new Tion Hegemony” or some such.

fettarme

Those weapons are a big fail. I don’t want any of them. They have a ugly color and I don’t like how they sound.

eramina

if you have a toon in the rak tunnels like I have 3 you can still do the nav quests but all the others can no longer be done since cannot complete them and you can still turn in I just did them on my toons and got the rewards and everything even with the timer of ten secs cause do to loophole it will reset to ten second if you tap the key ‘w’ twice and you can still kill raks for achievements.but I would only do t with a 55 since all the spawns no matter what lvl are 55.

micmitja

so any idea when it will return or we will again have to wait 2y for it

TJWoo

My money is on August 12th – 19th 2014.

Spot on!

Vodorlo

Maybe not the end date, I’m hoping for two weeks.

Rafaello

Serious question, do you have any insider knowledge, or just a lucky/informed guess?

TJWoo

Lucky guess.

Vodorlo

It’s up!

Rakghoul event is confirmed to be up on Tatooine!

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Cool thanks for the heads up

TJWoo

Anyone found the new open world boss yet? I think it’s the only place you can get the Exotic Plague Specimen, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Trapjaw is just regular Trapjaw.

Mace Windy

I tried looking for Urtagh from the 1st raghoul event but he isnt there this time.

http://therevelalliance.enjin.com/home Zahariel

People who have seen it on planet are keeping quiet

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Found it, it is in Jundlands around coordinates 1200, -1350.

TJWoo

<3

Vodorlo

Any pics yet, Dulfy?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Already been killed in both servers I am in so waiting for respawns.

Vodorlo

Looks like a plauged-reek, but my group killed him before I could get a pic

TJWoo

Same mechanics as Alderaan? Stock up on vaccines or relic?

Vodorlo

Yep. Dropped Plaguetooth Reek, whick I won.

Vodorlo

Don’t know if I’m lucky today, but the rare spawn times seemed to have decreased. Already have seen the Frenzied Plaguebearer twice and the Catalyst once.

Bryan

Just came back to swtor a few days ago after a year off. I must have felt this coming in the force…. I loved the first rakghoul event in 2012, best in the game, glad to see them doing it (or something very similar) again!

Arby

OK, so… why are there rakgahoogles on Tatooine again? When are they going to add some rewards that at least attractive enough to make this worth doing?

Arby

Anyone remember the rewards for the first time they did this? Crystals and decent looking armor and things that didn’t just plain look stupid? So they bring this poor excuse for a version of that back but still no Chevin event? Dev team is stupid, seriously.

Robert Hindy

Crystals and Companion Customizations are the same as the first event. Some of the pets are the same too. They only thing they did not bring back was the armor. The rest is new stuff.

AriesCZ

The problem is, compared to the old gear (which still has achivements tied to but but is unobtainable) the new gear looks like crap.

Arby

Yes. I would much prefer to finish the old, good looking, armor sets. Recoloring the same shitty-looking armor does not do anything for me.

Hugo A Sanchez

wow this event came out of nowhere. Such a bad time to reset computer lol

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Yes, kind of a surprise but some people predicated it based on the gap in events

Vodorlo

Anyone checked to see if the midnight rakghoul is up?

Ancaglon

There’s a new codex entry for the Rakghouls on Tatooine which sort of explains what Jeelvic is doing – I took a screenshot last night but forgot to upload. Will do so later today.

Dmitriy Ilyin

Guys, how exactly to complete – Participated in the rakghoul plague relief efforts on Tatooine??? I did both missions:[DAILY] Quarantine: Anchorhead
[DAILY] Quarantine: Mos Ila
but still didnt get an achivment. (BTW i also didnt get when event was on Alderan)

Vodorlo

Do the two missions and turn them in. Should work, worked for me.

Dmitriy Ilyin

didnt for me (
will try to contact support again. last time they say that’s a bug

Ancaglon

It probably is a bug — I got the achievement on my (Republic) main the moment I handed that mission in, I haven’t done it on the Imperial side at all yet.

Dmitriy Ilyin

During all event i tried to get this achievement. I did it every day, tried different sequences (lair before quarantine then revert), with pets, all missions + H4 on all alts. But without any luck.
I didnt tried to do it:
1. While be infected
2. I didnt do spreading infection on empire alts only on republic.

If you can point me in right direction you are welcome.

Marita

Regarding this title: “[name], The Rakghoul Nightmare – You earned this title by participating
in rakghoul plague relief efforts on Alderaan, Corellia and Tatooine.”

It’s not Legacy Based? If it’s by character, does anyone know exactly what needs to be completed on each character to unlock it?

Vodorlo

I would say it’s character-specific

Letaen

I can’t say for sure, but if you look in the achievements section; somewhere under the Rakghoul event (can’t remember the category – maybe general, but not too sure) is a list of achievements specific for joining in the event. I think all you need to do is complete a quest with it to unlock the achievement. I can’t remember their names, but it should be on the bottom row of one of the subpanels. At the moment, Alderaan and Tatooine should be the only two achievements there; if you joined in on both.

As for how the title is given to characters, I’m completely clueless on that, myself. As achievements are bound by legacy, perhaps it is sent in a similar way to those titles from the expansions and the like – via holomail? Not sure.

Either way, though; definitely good luck.

SirRobinII

fangal and symbiote raklings are to rare :/ takes too much luck and time to get. Who will do HIDDENMobile ContagionInfected 1000 players with the rakghoul plague

GoodBadUgly

create as much as possible twinks on your legacy … play them to the fleet, get them infected, put them on rest for 2 weeks, then load your twink and let it explode when no one is expecting this (having no vaccacine as buff) … helps only a little one, but better than nothing.

SirRobinII

wont count after event

Lasse David Sand Østergaard

Yes, it will. They don’t get the virus, but your mission log and achievements counts them as infected.

Ferenc

Symbiote Rakling is BoL…

mike

what are the DNA samples for not the cannisters the samples plz

Vodorlo

Work on English, first off.

Second, They are the old currency for the old Rakghoul event, which can currently be obtained from the Fungal Rakghoul champs (1 per champ) or the Tunnel Lurker (5 per kill) They can be exchanged for Canisters at a 50 to 1 ratio.

mike

go shove your head up your arse i misspell canisters by adding one n extra you patronizing twat

Thanesbane

I’m pretty sure he wasn’t referring to your spelling, but complete lack of sentence structure or punctuation. Honestly, I am surprised he had any clue what you were trying to say, because I am unable to grasp it.

As an addendum, “Work on English” is correct, albeit a fragment, adding “your” does not make it a complete sentence.

mike

concentrate on the game i came to ask a question not get berated by the the twats who have nothing better to do then correct someone you silver spoon licking tampon sucking fucking twatty little fucking diaper munching cunt ,

Vodorlo

You got your answer, and a little advice about English. Win-win for all of us, no?

mike

im pretty sure addendum doesnt apply here but hey still go fuck yourself oh and i dont need to be big here i never mentioned i was big does not take someone big to write down abuse .oh and Please dont be saying intarwebz oh no thats right you can misspell or use slang or use bad grammar cos your siding with them in fact ii bet in reality your lips are so fat and reverberate so bad writings all people understand oh and please dont come back with racist remarks i was not implying your black

Docmal

Look at the big man who can come on the intarwebz and say naughty words!

mike

and your probably a nonce

Vodorlo

Just break down the sentence.

mike

oh and its “work on your English” so maybe you need to work on your grammar rather then working on being a bigger twat then you already are.

Sy’kess

Is shellshock not going to be up for this round of RakResurge?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

No, that is for alderaan stage only back in Jan.

Can we still to the rakghoul missions on alderaan, or is it only up on tat?

Only on tat

Arby

“Make sure you have a couple of vaccines from the medical droid inside the Rakghoul tunnels or have someone with Raven holostatue”
What is a “Raven holostatue”?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Oops, Revan Holostatue, not Raven. It is a vendor from one of the earlier packs I think

Telanis

It’s removed if you die.

Hugo A Sanchez

any Info on how to predict Catalyst spawn?

Telanis

It’s random.

Stuart Johnson

In listing quest rewards you’re assuming characters are higher than level 50, You dont get Basic Commendations if you’re not over 50, you get Planetary.

GoodBadUgly

Has anyone already posted ths? Obviously new codex lore entry “The Eyeless” after killing it it either 8/16 sm or hc.

claude1864

Does anyone have a spawn time on the lurker?

Marita

I have to say, I’m really irked at the Symbiote Rakling rarity. I’ve done Eyeless 12 times this week in SM and twice in HM and I’ve only seen a single pet drop once from a 16 Man HM Kill. It’s pretty annoying since that’s the only Rakling Acheivement I’m missing. >_<

Thumpa

Do the Black-green crystals go into a collection when you equip them or are they like normal artifice crystals? Seems a shame if they are. Bind to Legacy would be nice considering the armor & weapons are

Secundum Ave

VERY late, but as they existed before the CM did, they’re like normal artifice crystals. They don’t bind in any way-so can be sold etc.

iceberg265

Are we sure the Symbiote Rakling drops off Eyeless? I’ve killed him at least a dozen, maybe close to 15 times between all my characters and SM/HM, plus however many times I killed him when the event was on Alderaan and I have still never seen one drop.

Marita

I’ve only seen it drop once out of about 25 kills and it was a 16 Man HM Kill. I should also mention that it’s the only time I’ve done a 16 Man HM kill even though I’ve done 16 Man SM almost a dozen times.

Eric

I’m in the same boat. I have yet to have any Raklings drop at all! No pales, no reds, no fungals, and no symbiotes. Pale and red dont concern me as I got them on the original event a few years ago, but the other 2 continue to elude me.

Marita

Pale has seemed to drop off of every Frenzied Plaguebearer I’ve found. Best way to get to those is run around town on a speeder and every time you aggro, check the red dots on the map to see if you have a Frenzied in there. If not, just ignore until the next aggro. Reds seem to have been dropping a lot off the Tunnel Lurker. I want to see it’s been around a 25% drop rate. Fungal has been rarer, but it’s still around 10% for me. I’ve had it drop a few times just by running around and killing the Fungals while doing dailies.

But seriously… F* the drop rate on the Symbiotes. I’ve seen it drop ONCE out of over a dozen Eyeless kills and it was a single drop on a 16 Man HM.

TJWoo

Yes. I’ve seen it drop once, maybe twice off HM. It is a rare drop similar to the red sphere mount from HM Xeno II. I’ve only ever see that drop twice out of a couple dozen runs. I have all the rakling achievements, so it’s doable, but I hit the events pretty hard both times.

Arby

As of server reset today the event is over. Apparently the rep vendors are on the upper promenade on Nar Shaddaa… but now jawa. Thanks for the advanced warning again BW.

My favorite event and I missed first two days because they didn’t announce it was coming. After rep rest today I made Legend, and I have all the stuff, but unless Jeelvic is somewhere else I cant get mount and mini.

Arby

I was planning to get some crystals and such that only Jeelvic has as well, pretty unhappy with how they handled this one. If anyone finds an alternate location for him I hope they post it. Sucks that you can get items from event vendors any time… except for this one.

http://detoxravensquad.enjin.com Hache-Moncour

They didn’t put him anyway after the event in januari, so I don’t think they will now. I fear you’ll have to wait for the next event to pop up before you can shop for crystals, pets and mounts.

The vendors for the outfits, weapons, relics and companion customizations are still available on Nar-Shaddaa though.

Vodorlo

I anticipate the Rakghoul event will return tomorrow, October 28, for one week on Corellia!

Mr_Furious

At work right now, are the armor and weapons the same as the last event?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Yup

ahah

“Raven” holostatue??

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

*Revan, I misspell his name from time to time

Vodorlo

Now the Revanites will make sure to kill you, Dulfy…

erruss

Nevermore!

GoodBadUgly

Its possbible to get 2 rakling drops on 16m hardmode eyeless, as it happend yesterday evening on my inqui char … sadly enough none for myself. Don’t know if the same goes for 16m storymode.

And it sucks that it’s not even a guaranteed drop on this rare event and it sucks even more that you can only try it once per char per event.

Davyd Alexeevich Antipov

Got 3 Symbiote Rankings drop in my run or 16HM Eyeless.

Won 2 of them (very lucky), kept 1 for myself and the other I gave to Tank.

CekisSWG

Not sure that the 16 man loot drop is correct. I Just did SM and HM
last night… I didn’t watch the loot results, but I only have 4
Ultimate Comms for this week and 6 Elite Comms. That being said, I have
16 Basic Comms for the week. The Eyeless is the only thing I’ve done
this week on this character.

Davyd Alexeevich Antipov

You get Basic conms from the dailies as part of the rewards. Alongside Rep and the Rakghouls containers.

BTG

Is there a specific trigger for the “Rakghoul Nightmare” title? I have completed all of the quest from all 3 events and it did not grant me the title.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

I got the title when turning in the fleet quest in the rakghoul tunnels this time. I am not sure if that is the specific trigger though

Davyd Alexeevich Antipov

I’m pretty sure the title is triggered when you hand in the quest that you picked up from fleet, but you must also have done the event on the other planets.

Which can be an indication that it is linked to the “Rakghouls, Rakghouls everywhere” achievement.

El Grande Hefe

It seems that it is based off of only the breadcrumb (news terminal through the quarantine tent and then down to the conversation inside the tunnels) from fleet; you have to do that quest line on each planet.

I had a toon that skipped the breadcrumb quest and just went and did the dailies on Tat. Drove through the spaceport and got the “participation” codex. But no title.

I have a different toon that did do the breadcrumb quest but used the Outlaw’s Den QT to get to/from Tat. Got the title although that toon is missing the “participation” codex from the spaceport.

My other toons, some still lowbie’s despite the 12xp as they are crafter/mission runners, all got the title.

Guest

new crystals)))

iceberg265

I’m up to somewhere between 30 and 40 Eyeless kills now and I’ve seen the Symbiote drop ONCE, and of course I did not win. Fucking annoying.

TJWoo

Sucks to be you. Had that pet months ago with a whole lot less kills.

iceberg265

I’m not sure how its ironic when I never said I personally was happy with it. Also one optional achievement isn’t really enough to make or break an event either way. You can be unhappy with individual parts of something and still enjoy the whole.

luiza

man, TJWoo has to be the whiniest person of all comment sections… we see him everywhere complaining of everything

TJWoo

You must have trouble reading as I wasn’t the one complaining. But keep going out of your way to make a fool of yourself.

Oh, you’re sooo ironic! Look at TJWoo guys, he must be so hot and handsome and intelligent!

See? I can be nice even to the douchiest people. Even the ones that patronize others so they can feel superior to them. An advice: see the bright side of life, pal. When you stop complaining and being negative, good things happen to you! You could even make some friends!

TJWoo

Good advice. You should follow it.

luiza

I saw that coming!

Astyra

Does killing The Eyeless still grant the Unseen Assailant title?

Vodorlo

It should. If it didn’t work for you, try killing him on HM.

Astyra

I’ve never done it, just wondering. Thanks!

Dannielle Sommers

can you still buy the comp customizations from a vendor after the event?. if so where is that npc?

Areneth

On Nar Shaddaa, Upper Promenade, in GSI vendor location.

Dannielle Sommers

thanks for that darling

Octavian

Plaguetail Kowakian Monkey-Lizard best pet!

Secundum

One of the worst events imo, simply because of how luck-based everything is. Getting the world boss pets is next to impossible. NOT looking forward to next week.

haha

Form a farming group with pet goes to player in joining order. Wait for your turn and help the people in front of the queue to get it.

Secundum

Never even seen one of those form myself, and then we’d need to wait however long for the WB to spawn after checking all of the instances.

Neg Sani

I believe it’s every 20 mins. that it spawns in each instance. Try advertising in gen chat that you’re looking to form a farming group. I was in a group on Tatooine last year that helped everyone get the pet. I was like the last in the group to get it and it took a few hours, but if you stick with it….

Secundum

I might do that. ty. Now I just gotta hope that people don’t bail after getting the pet…

macewindy

Just also make sure you get people in with taunts as there are still some very friendly persons around who didnt got the memo about how tauntresetting a boss is called harrasment.

Last time I was in a group with 6 friends where 5 of us were dps classes with taunts because people were trying to reset the boss the whole time.

In between waiting we were playing tauntpong with a random melee add, quite fun times to pass the 20 minute timer

Vodorlo

TBH, it is 4-man-able. Got some people for Corellia who were sick of waiting to get the pet, classic flashpoint layout (2dps, 1 tank, 1 heal), killed it four times in a row, one pet for each person

Secundum

Yeah, did it with a group of 6 people. I guess I’m just used to the first event where the odds of getting it were low due to large groups.

Darth-Robin

i think its also time bioware updated the reputation vendor with new things to buy, after all seeing the same things you can buy from vendor over again for the third time gets old

Neg Sani

Apparently the Rakghouls didn’t get the memo and the event started at 7AM EDT, an hour early.

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Started at 6 am EDT actually, so 2 hrs early

Skidblade

So are they not selling the other THORN set on the Cartel Market anymore during this or what?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Prob next tuesday, happened during the recent Gree event too

Lasse David Sand Østergaard

Both THORN CM sets have been up this past week; hurry before they’re gone.

faCaldara1 .

I am getting less credits per quest than you say in your article. only getting 3175 credits. I am level 35. Is it less because of my level do you know?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Yes the rewards are based on level. I listed the max level (60) rewards

Tho’re

Midnight Rakling drops also from last boss in Lost Island HM.

Phil Cleugh

and from project Sav-Rak

Geust

so on what planet is it this time ?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Tatooine

Secundum

The thought of infecting 1000 people makes me want to cry. =(

Vokel

I have no clue when it startet to count my infections. I’ve done the event every time. But I don’t know how many chars did the infection thing how often in the past.

Right now I try to use 11 chars for this quest every day. And this gives me only 231 infected players…

And on a dying server I’m not sure to get it done on all 11 chars every day. Hard work.
I hate me for not ignoring that stupid and awful achievement thing. It’s horrible in every way, like everything done by EA.

Baa

Did they not update The Eyeless loot to lvl 60?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Nope

Konstantino

Do we know the respawn timer on the Tunnel Lurker?

Joshua Jungmann

It’s 15 mins

Nyzari

What exactly counts as “participating” for the Rakghoul Nightmare title? Do I have to complete all the quests, just some of them, or what? A little unsure on this.

sdsdfa

Just the “curing citizens” quest for each city.

The Earl Fleabag of Turdshire

So now that we have had Alderaan and Tatoinne, can we assume that Corellia will come soon as well?

http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

Prob in a few months.

The Earl Fleabag of Turdshire

Thanks. I hope so as I’ve got about 20k rep left before Legend standing so it would be nice.

Joshua Jungmann

I’ve done the kaon under siege twice now, once in SM and in HM and don’t see the secret boss, idk if it’s only up during the event or what but would appreciate it if u would say that before I waste 1-3 hours doing them
